To implement our mission, we use a strictly science-based, non-partisan, and non-confrontational approach to further the effectiveness of bird conservation measures. We also value integrity and respect for others, and we use solution-oriented business practices to maintain partnerships with a large variety of entities, including government agencies, Tribes, other non-profit organizations, the private sector.
Great Basin Bird Observatory (GBBO) was registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in January 1997 as an independent non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and understanding of bird populations in the Great Basin and adjoining regions. GBBO considers its role to be a catalyst for bringing together partners in bird monitoring, inventory, and bird habitat conservation planning, as well as for helping advance the skills of citizen scientists in bird conservation and knowledge of the interested public about birds of Nevada.
